Into the Beat

As far as predictable movies go ... well this is up there! No pun intended, but you can see where this is going. Actually you don't even need to see, you just know (also the music works - even if you have your eyes closed). Still there is an energy and a passion and a love for music and dancing here, that is hard to escape. Unless you are a cynic ... actually I am one ... sometimes, so I totally understand if this is too sugarcoated for your taste.

All that aside the rhythm and structure of the movie move along fine - and yes things are way too easy at certain points and the tough love aspect the male mentor is showing our female love interest ... actually his love interest, might feel wrong to some ... but hey we are all different aren't we? So suspend your disbelief if you can and just dance... express yourself any way you can, doesn't have to be professional. Go on ... enjoy.

Alexandra Pfeifer was the only good thing about this movie. Don't consider it as a film about dance or strictly about romance, rather something in between, but failing to deliver both messages. Was expecting great original soundtracks and choreographies. I got bored so many times that I can't even count, and some scenes was making no sense at all, or was so quickly (un)developed..

Positive:

• great main actors
• many fresh and varied dance performances
• good vibes, but also touching moments

Negative:

• often seen film idea without great surprises
• overly educational.

Seriously another movie with ungrateful parents, they think that their children should do whatever they want even if they will be sad for the rest of their lifes , and they don't even care about it, the rest of the movie was boring , she just dance , soo??

Full of cliches but don't over think it and it's very enjoyable. Katya played by Alexandra Pfiefer is adorable and so enchanting.
